我发email问McMaster 小米 about 雅思分数的事
问了两次都没问出答案来
我想知道各项是不是都要6.5分以上
硬是没问出来啊 我作文只有6啊
那按照他的意思 其他3 分 只要总分过6.5就够了吗？
Dear secretary,
Hello!
I am preparing to apply for your graduate program in Department of Computer &Science, as I know, the vacancy for international students are quite limited, especailly for students from developing countries. I don't know whether it is the truth, but I want to make sure is there any vacancy for me in September,2011. I am from China, and I have got my BS in June,2010 with GPA 4.13/4.3, with IELTS 7.But I didnt take GRE, is that a necessay benchmark, and how about the specific requirement of GRE marks? And I also want to know the specific requirement of IELTS, as my writing is just 6.
Thanks a lot.
Best wishes
Tracy
Hello,

Please refer to our website as it outlines the process and the minimum scores.

We do not comment on eligibility at this time.

Thanks,

Julia
Thanks for your kindness and patience.

The IELTS is also accepted, with a minimum score of 6.5.

That's quoted from the website you mentioned, but I wonder does it mean the four parts all should obtain the minimal of 6.5, or just overall should be 6.5?

Best Regards,
Tracy
Hello,

The overall score for the IELTS has to be 6.5

Thanks,

Julia

It is the overall IELTS>6.5, no specific requirement for each part of it.
I just want to remind you that it says "The GRE is not required, but strongly recommended", and you dont have GRE. This means you are at a disadvantage.

Another thing, if I should mention, is your writing skill is in need of improvement. I understand if your grammar is not good or your sentence structure is not perfect, but really you need to know what you should say and what you shouldn't . This is not English.
Such as "especailly for students from developing countries", here you are assuming the university has a discrimination, which can be a big offense to staff.

Haha~(Have u ever heard this mocking voice from Nelson in The Simpsons?) u more than a grammar freak...

But I agree with u, when I saw the "especially for developing countries..", I also felt it was kind of inappropriate.



In addition, it is "overall": LZ ask "whether overall...or each part..."in ur email, and the secretary replied "overall..". So I think she answered lz's quesiton..

Yes, my writing skill is in need of improvement, I know that, n I will take GRE this October. Developing countries may be not proper but it is the truth, anyway, I will be aware of that later.

这不是语法问题 真的不是语法问题 这个问题换成中文一样让人无法接受 这绝对是写东西的思路问题

GRE是不会提高你这方面能力的 很多时候你需要的就是写完了自己回头看一眼
Developing countries may be not proper but it is the truth 谁告诉你这是truth了？如果你自己没有证据 就不要拿出来在关键场合用来说 这是个习惯问题 在论坛上大家扯扯都没关系 但在联系学校的时候 就很不一样了

I know.  Just want to fight back...

Canadian take proud of their varity and being sensitive of discrimination.

P.S. Do you think it is kind of discrimination when I get rejected by Ryerson as the admission office told the Prof to hire a domestic other than an international student?

tracyrongyiUID：2842378

没想到这还会引起争论 呵呵 是我的问题
措辞总是没头没脑 写完了也很少看
就那么发过去了
我说的事实 指的是 中国是developing country 不是说他们歧视中国人
那个没说是事实 只是听说罢了
不过自己当时也觉得怪怪的 没多想 就发了
大家的意见 全部收着
下次注意

呵呵 可以理解 在学校里长大的学生 有的时候不见得有机会接触到这种问题
出来吃一次亏你就记得了 但如果能在吃亏前发现问题当然最好
这种事情我都栽过很多次了

不需要非常紧张 但有些东西很明显的不太适合说的 就尽量别说就行了
